For what it's worth, the Google ads are context sensitive based upon the content of the page you're currently on. A humorous example of this are threads in the basketball forum that talk about "shots". You'll see advertisements for firearms training.
 The point is, I doubt that the company paid to advertise specifically on this site.

Ad-blocker add-in on Firefox will strip the adds. IE or AOL allow the Google script.
Frankly, a messageboard I run for the benefit of our local softball programs is funded by Google ads; I put the search script in the header, and they pay me $200 a year. I had the same moral question, posed so I researched the site(s). At that time, each clearly stated their product was illegal for ASA and other association play, and only intended for home run competitions and similar exhibitions. I reasoned that, while they may be enablers, they aren't breaking the rules; someone who knowingly uses one of their bats in real games is the pond scum. Not very different from advertising firearms; it is legal to sell them, legal to own them. Just illegal if used inappropriately. I don't pretend there is Constitutional protection to own altered bats, but the same philosophy applies; altered bats don't bring themselves to ball games, or decide when to be used.

Same ad at the top of this page as I hit reply:
Bat rolling and shaving Add 40-50 feet of distance to your baseball or softball bat!

You know what? Got rid of the Google toolbar and the ads are no longer there for me, either!
